We love finding books that highlight the joy of finding those who love you for being exactly who you are. So we were excited to check out this adorable children’s book about a haunted house who worries that she may be too scary for a family to love. Will she be able to find a family who will love her? We had a lot of fun pairing this book with ghost activities for kids!

If you are a parent, you have answered the question “why?”. You have probably answered it thousands of times – sometimes in one day. As annoying as the “why” stage can be, it is so important to stop and take the time to engage with your kids when they ask “why?”. So I wanted to share my strategies for dealing with the “why?” questions.
Homes can be all kinds of things, and no two homes are alike. As kids go out into the world and make new friends, they learn that people can live in all kinds of dwellings, and have different home lives. This list of children’s books about home touches on the different places people may live, as well as how we feel about the places (or people) we call home.
One of the things you hear all the time nowadays is that our world needs more empathy. So teaching kids to be empathetic is an important task for parents and teachers. As those entrusted with raising the next generation, it’s our job to teach them how to be good human beings. Little Bookworm is a very empathetic kid. She is the first to run to help someone in need, and she often takes it upon herself to defend those who are being picked on. So I wanted to share how to use children’s books to teach empathy, and how we have made it part of our daily conversations.
